Island Harvest

Island Harvest began transitioning its macadamia orchards toward organic certification in 2015 and is now a certified organic farm. The nuts are single-origin, grown entirely on the farm's own North Kohala acreage. Orchards are rain-fed and require no irrigation. The farm uses organic farming methods without harmful pesticides, and reuses macadamia husks to support carbon efficiency. Island Harvest describes its approach as regenerative agriculture, with a stated goal of building healthy soils and reducing erosion. The farm reinvests 50% of profits into regenerative agriculture activities such as spreading compost and planting trees, 25% into local community programs in partnership with the North Kohala Community Resource Center, and 25% is shared with farm employees.
